About Us
Introduction
Our liberation is bound in each other’s. Our organization shares a message of unity, and we are determined to educate, inform, and unite to fight a multitude of social justice and human rights issues carried out by the American government beholden to multinational corporations. We envision a government that is based on the principles of liberty and justice for all. We believe in the promise made in the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
In light of the recent decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, many people are feeling heartbroken and afraid. In the face of this fear, we are also finding community. There are people who have been fighting against this government’s authoritarian decisions against our bodies for decades and there are those who are only now finding themselves ready to join the fight. We welcome all.
Who We Are
We are activists who, by supporting and promoting non-violent mass action to force the hand of elected officials, are dedicated to mobilizing Americans to preserve our human rights.
We are a collective; mobilizing Americans to take back OUR power to exert our economic power to force elected officials to do their job!
We are YOU! We are mothers, daughters, sons, and brothers of all colors and persuasions who are tired of using our talents, wasting our tears, and having our voices silenced and our rights systematically stripped. We will wait no longer, we will reclaim what is OURS – basic human rights for ALL and laws to ensure them forever.
We the People, We the POWER and we are striking back at our oppressors on ALL fronts. From the courts to the Halls of Congress and the boardrooms of corporations everywhere- we are an army of the everyday, and we are uniting as one in a coordinated effort to reclaim what is OURS.
